    Porcelain Tile Floor Done!

    No control joints in my floor, just a very thin crack I just tiled over. My prep was only a little coca cola soak on oil stains overnight followed by a few shots of greased lightning then power washed the whole space. No issues at all with my suburban pulling in and out all the time - was...

    Porcelain Tile Floor Done!

    No doubt. Great work dakota showing us all the truth! I have seen so many ugly buckeling issues with sunlight on various plastic tiles, and the painted coatings just cant take a hot tire under a heavy truck in august. Nothing comes close... Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Garage insulation

    Depends ‐ are you going to park a car with a 220 degree engine block cooling off inside it? Insulation might keep some heat in... Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Quartz
